The gospel of Jesus is essential for us sinners, who are destined to die because of our sins. It is the Good News that gives us the forgiveness of sins. Jesus preached the gospel when He came to the earth.
Mt 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom.
Jesus calls us and blesses us to be His gospel workers. What promise does He give us through the gospel? Let's confirm the promise through the Bible.
Eph 3:4-6 Through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Through the gospel, we become God's heirs to reign in the kingdom and members together of one body in Christ Jesus.
We are God's ministers and God entrusts us with proclaiming the gospel.
1 Th 2:4 We speak as men approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel.
Ro 15:16 To be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God.
Now let's confirm what the gospel is through the Bible.
Col 1:23 This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
The Apostle Paul claimed that he became a servant of 'the gospel'.
2 Co 3:6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant.
Here Paul called himself a minister of 'a new covenant.' Obviously the gospel is the new covenant.
What is the new covenant that gospel workers must preach to the world?
Lk 22:15, 20 I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer … This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
The Passover is the gospel of the new covenant that we should preach to the whole world.
Nowadays, most comtemporary churches claim that they preach the gospel without even keeping the Passover. They even insist that the Passover is a heresy. What will happen to those people on the last day?
2 Th 1:7-9 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
God will punish all people who do not obey the gospel, the Passover of the new covenant.
What is going to happen to those who preach a different gospel?
Gal 1:6-9 Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
They will be eternally condemned by God.
Gospel workers must preach the Passover of the new covenant. The churches without the Passover have no gospel at all.
In these last days it is only the Church of God that preaches the gospel of the new covenant Passover. The Church of God faces all kinds of persecution from the world, but the Church of God will never fall.
Ac 5:39 If it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.
Nobody can stop the Church of God. People will only find themselves fighting against God when they speak against the Church of God. Come to the Church of God and receive salvation. God bless you.

Moses and Jesus (the Meaning of the Cross)
According to the Bible, Moses is a prophetical figure for Jesus. What happened in the time of Moses is a shadow of things to occur in the time of Jesus and in these last days. Today we will study the meaning of the cross through the work of Moses and that of Jesus.
Dt 18:17-18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.
God said that He would raise up a prophet like Moses. This prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
Ac 3:22-24 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; … all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.
Ex 17:8-11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning.
When Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were delivered by God. Let's find out how this prophecy was accomplished.
Jn 12:32 I, When I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
When Jesus was lifted up from the earth, people were saved. We can see that Moses represents Jesus.
The idolatry of Israelites in the time of Moses is a copy of idolatry of the spiritual Israelites in the time of Jesus. Just as the natural Israelites worshipped a bronze snake, so the spiritual Israelites worship the cross today.
Nu 21:8 Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.
How were the Israelites saved when they spoke against God and were bitten to death by snakes? Was it because of a bronze snake or God's mighty word? What would have happened to those who looked at the bronze snake with no words from God? Do you think they could have been saved? (No) However, the Israelites, ignorant of God's word, had worshipped the bronze snake from then to king Hezekiah.
2 Ki 18:4-6 He [King Hezekiah] broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it … he kept the commands the LORD had given Moses.
The Israelites had worshipped the bronze snake for about 1,000 years as a holy symbol of God's salvation. Actually what was it before God? (idol)
In the same way many contemporary Christians, ignorant of God's word, worship the cross. It is another kind of idol like the bronze snake.
Jn 3:14-15 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
People could be saved only when they believe firmly in Jesus, not a cross. The Cross is a kind of execution tool used for crucifying Jesus. It is Jesus' precious blood that can save us, not a cross itself. Let's find out.
Jn 19:34 One of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
1 Pe 1:18-19 You were redeemed … with the precious blood of Christ.
As the Israelites were saved by the almighty word of God, not by the bronze snake, we are redeemed with Jesus' precious blood, not the cross.
The Bible says if a man carves an image and sets it up in secret, he will be cursed. We must not worship the cross, because it's a wooden idol (Jer 10:1-; Dt 27:15). God bless you.
Dt 18:17-18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.
God said that He would raise up a prophet like Moses. This prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
Ac 3:22-24 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; … all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.
Ex 17:8-11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning.
When Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were delivered by God. Let's find out how this prophecy was accomplished.
Jn 12:32 I, When I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
When Jesus was lifted up from the earth, people were saved. We can see that Moses represents Jesus.
The idolatry of Israelites in the time of Moses is a copy of idolatry of the spiritual Israelites in the time of Jesus. Just as the natural Israelites worshipped a bronze snake, so the spiritual Israelites worship the cross today.

The Israelites had worshipped the bronze snake for about 1,000 years as a holy symbol of God's salvation. Actually what was it before God? (idol)
In the same way many contemporary Christians, ignorant of God's word, worship the cross. It is another kind of idol like the bronze snake.
Jn 3:14-15 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
People could be saved only when they believe firmly in Jesus, not a cross. The Cross is a kind of execution tool used for crucifying Jesus. It is Jesus' precious blood that can save us, not a cross itself. Let's find out.
Jn 19:34 One of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
1 Pe 1:18-19 You were redeemed … with the precious blood of Christ.
As the Israelites were saved by the almighty word of God, not by the bronze snake, we are redeemed with Jesus' precious blood, not the cross.
The Bible says if a man carves an image and sets it up in secret, he will be cursed. We must not worship the cross, because it's a wooden idol (Jer 10:1-; Dt 27:15). God bless you.

Cross-Reverence Is Idolatry
Today we will study that a cross is a wooden idol. It is nothing but idolatry before God to worship or wear the cross.
Ex 20:4-5 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them.
Today many people think the cross is only a symbol of the Crucifixion, not an idol. However, we have to judge everything by God's words, not our thoughts. God wants His people not to make idols of any kind and not to worship them. Let's find out through the Bible if it's okay before God to believe the cross as a symbol of Jesus' sacrifice.
Lev 26:1 Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it.
God doesn't want us to make any idols to worship. Now let's find out what the cross is in the sight of God.
Jer 10:2-10 Do not learn the ways of the nations … Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; … they are taught by worthless wooden idols.
What can you learn from this verse? The cross is one of the wooden idols from the nations worshipping other gods. It is only a worthless idol. What is going to happen to those who dare to make and bow down to it? Let's find out.
Dt 27:15 Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol―a thing detestable to the LORD.
The cross is a detestable idol before God. Those who make and worship the cross will be cursed.
Jer 2:27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces.
As the Bible goes, some people call their Father before a wooden idol, a cross; others say "You gave me birth" before a stone idol, the Virgin Mary. What's going to happen to these churches that revere the cross? Do you think they can be saved?
In the time of Moses, the Israelites worshipped the bronze snake in the desert. It is a copy and shadow of the things to happen in the time of the New Testament. Just as the Israelites revered the bronze snake, so today people worship the cross as a symbol of Christ Jesus.
Nu 21:4-9 Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.
How were the Israelites saved when they spoke against God and were bitten to death by snakes? Was it because of a bronze snake or God's mighty word? What would have happened to those who looked at the bronze snake with no words from God? Do you think they could have been saved? (No) However, the Israelites, ignorant of God's word, had worshipped the bronze snake from then to King Hezekiah.

Jn 3:14-15 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
People can be saved only when they have firm belief in Jesus, not a cross. If the Israelites had used a hammer, would you worship or wear a hammer? They used a cross to kill your spiritual Father. How then can you worship it? The cross is a kind of execution tool used for crucifying Jesus. It is a symbol of murder, not love from Jesus. It is nothing but idolatry when someone puts great holy value on it and worships it.
The cross is an idol. Whoever erects or worships it will be cursed. God bless you.
Ex 20:4-5 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them.

Revelation (Chapter 17), Revelation (Chapter 18)
Revelation (Chapter 17)
Today we will again confirm the identity of the Roman Catholic Church through Jesus' Revelation to the Apostle John.
Rev 17:1 Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
In the Bible, woman stands for church (1 Pe 5:13), and waters represent peoples, multitudes, nations and languages (Rev 17:15). Therefore the prostitute is adulterous woman, false church, which unites itself with this sinful world. Let's study more about this great prostitute.
Rev 17:3 I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
In his prophecy, Daniel already showed this ten-horned beast as Rome. This verse tells us that the great prostitute, the Roman Catholic Church, originated in Rome.
Rev 17:4-5 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand … MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Here 'to be dressed in purple and scarlet' indicates the colors and garments that the Catholic priests and bishops wear during services. 'To be glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls' tells us what the Vatican is decorated with inside. Moreover, only the Roman Catholic Church uses a golden cup during services throughout the whole world.
Revelation (Chapter 18)
Rev 18:2 Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
Here 'Babylon' is the Roman Catholic Church and her daughters, all the Protestant churches. They were given authority from Satan. Babylon will surely be destroyed by God at the last day. Before the last day arrives, God wants His people to leave Babylon as quickly as possible.
Rev 18:4 Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues.
God wants His people to leave Babylon and come to Zion where salvation is promised. God bless you.

Revelation (Chapter 13)
Daniel's prophecy shows us the reality of the Roman Catholic Church. In the book of Revelation, God again lets us know major characteristics of the Roman Catholic Church so that we can recognize its true identity.
Rev 13:1 He had ten horns … The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
Ten horns let us know that the Roman Catholic Church originated in Rome.
① Lion stands for Babylon and its idolatry; the Roman Catholics have idolatrous doctrines of worshipping the Virgin Mary and the saints' remains.
② Leopard represents Greece and its philosophy; the Roman Catholics introduced Greek philosophy and had its doctrines based on them.
③ Bear stands for Media and Persia and their cruelty; the Roman Catholic Church killed so many people cruelly during the Dark Ages. They also worshiped the sun-god like Media and Persia.
④ Dragon has given authority to the beast; the dragon is Satan (Rev 12:9). The Bible clearly shows that the Roman Catholic Church has received the authority from Satan.
Rev 13:16-18 The name of the beast or the number of his name … If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
The Pope's tiara has Latin words on it, 'VICARIUS FILIIDEI.' It means "the Representative of the Son of God." Each Roman letter has its own number. These Latin words could be calculated as numbers as follows;
V I C A R I U S F I L I I D E I
5 1 100 1 5 1 50 1 1 500 1 = 666

The Bible Is a Book of Prophecy
The Bible is a book of prophecy. All the prophesies in the Bible have been fulfilled 100 percent to date. Surely the remaining prophecies will be achieved just as all the past prophecies were accomplished.
The prophecies of the Bible serve for God's people as a light shining in a dark place.
2 Pe 1:19 We have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place.
We must believe all the prophecies in the Bible will be fulfilled, not adding or taking away.
Rev 22:18-19 If anyone adds anything to them … And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy.
Now let's study the prophecies and see if they were fulfilled by God. First, why don't we start with the prophecies in the Old Testament?
Ge 18:8-14 Sarah your wife will have a son. (Ge 21:2)
Ge 25:21-23 The older will serve the younger. (Ge 27:29)
Nu 14:30 Not one of you will enter the land (Canaan) … except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. (Nu 26:65)
Isa 45:1 This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus. (Ezr 1:1, 170 years later)
Let's move on to the prophecies about Jesus and their fulfillment in the New Testament.
Isa 7:14 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son. (Mt 1:23)
Mic 5:2 Bethlehem Ephrathah … out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel. (Mt 2:6)
Isa 9:1 In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan. (Mt 4:15)
Zec 9:9 Your king comes to you, … riding on a donkey. (Mt 21:5)
* cf.) Daniel 2, 7, 8
All the prophecies in the past were fulfilled 100 percent. What about the remaining prophecies for the future? They will surely be achieved just like all the past prophecies.
Now let's study the prophecies that will be accomplished today, in these last days.
Rev 14:1, 12 There before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 … who obey God's commandments.
Jer 4:5-6 Let us flee to the fortified cities! … Raise the signal to go to Zion!
Mic 4:1-2 In the last days … The law will go out from Zion.
Do you really believe God's prophecies of Zion and the 144,000? Are you absolutely sure they will be fulfilled without fail in the last days?
Once you firmly believe God's prophecies about the last days, you should come to Zion for your salvation where the 144,000 stand with God.
You should not treat prophecies with contempt according to your own judgment or religious traditions.
1 Th 5:20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt.
Come to Zion and you will receive salvation from God in these last days. God bless you.
The prophecies of the Bible serve for God's people as a light shining in a dark place.
2 Pe 1:19 We have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place.

Once you firmly believe God's prophecies about the last days, you should come to Zion for your salvation where the 144,000 stand with God.
You should not treat prophecies with contempt according to your own judgment or religious traditions.
1 Th 5:20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt.
Come to Zion and you will receive salvation from God in these last days. God bless you.

The Church Bought With the Blood
Today there are so many churches around us. How can you find the true church among them that follows the teachings of Jesus? According to the Bible, God bought His church with His own blood.
Ac 20:28 Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
Let's study about this church more in detail.
•Main subject
First, let's find out what the name of the church is.
1 Co 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus.
Gal 1:13 How intensely I persecuted the church of God.
1 Co 11:22 Do you despise the church of God?
In the Bible, the Apostle Paul called it 'the church of God.' God bought the church of God with His own blood. What does the blood mean here?
Ac 20:28 The church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
Ex 34:25, NKJV You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover.
Jehovah called the Passover sacrifice 'His sacrifice.' He also mentioned the blood of the Passover as His blood.
Mt 26:26-28 This [the wine of the Passover] is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus also said the blood of the Passover is His blood. It means the church of God was bought with the Passover blood.
Let's find out why God bought the church of God with the Passover blood.
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
The goal of our faith is the forgiveness of sins. It is given to us only through the Passover blood. That's why the church of God is bought with the Passover blood.
By keeping the Passover, we can also participate in Christ's body and blood.
1 Co 10:16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ?
Lk 22:20 This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Jesus called the Passover 'the new covenant.' The Church of God celebrates the Passover of the new covenant by the bread and wine. This is the true church we should seek in these last days.
•Conclusion
We can do nothing when we leave the church of God.
Jn 15:5 Apart from me you can do nothing.
The Church of God was founded with the Passover from God. It will never fall, though it faces all kinds of slander and hardships.
Ac 5:39 If it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.
Come to the Church of God and receive God's blessing of the forgiveness of your sin. God bless you.
Ac 20:28 Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
Let's study about this church more in detail.

Let's find out why God bought the church of God with the Passover blood.
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
The goal of our faith is the forgiveness of sins. It is given to us only through the Passover blood. That's why the church of God is bought with the Passover blood.
By keeping the Passover, we can also participate in Christ's body and blood.
1 Co 10:16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ?
Lk 22:20 This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Jesus called the Passover 'the new covenant.' The Church of God celebrates the Passover of the new covenant by the bread and wine. This is the true church we should seek in these last days.
•Conclusion
We can do nothing when we leave the church of God.
Jn 15:5 Apart from me you can do nothing.
The Church of God was founded with the Passover from God. It will never fall, though it faces all kinds of slander and hardships.
Ac 5:39 If it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.
Come to the Church of God and receive God's blessing of the forgiveness of your sin. God bless you.

The Work of God's Putting His Seal
In the near future the great disaster is to come upon the whole world. How can we escape such a great disaster then? The Bible warns us that we must have God's seal to stay safe from the last plague.
First, let's find out when God begins to put a seal on His elect.
Rev 7:1 After this [the World War II, Rev 6:12] I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
God will start putting a seal after the World War Two and finish it before the four winds of the earth blow on the whole world.
Where does God's work of putting a seal start?
Rev 7:2 I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God.
God will begin to put a seal on His elect from the east.
What is the seal of God? Let's find out through the Bible.
Jn 6:27 On him [Jesus] God the Father has placed his seal of approval.
God has put His seal on Jesus. Therefore, Jesus is God's seal itself. Now let's find out how we can have God's seal through Jesus.
Jn 6:56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me [Jesus], and I in him.
Jesus, God's seal, will stay inside us once we have His flesh and blood. We can survive the last plague at the Judgment day. How can we have Jesus' flesh and blood, God's seal?
Mt 26:17-28 Take and eat; this is my body … Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant.
We can have God's seal, Jesus' flesh and blood, by keeping the Passover. Only the Passover, God's seal, can save us from the great disaster on the last day.
Let's confirm that we will need God's seal on the last day through the Exodus in the time of Moses.
Ex 12:1-13 When I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you.
In the time of Moses, the Israelites were saved from the destructive plague when they kept the Passover. It serves as a shadow, letting us know that no destructive plague will touch us at the last day when we keep the Passover. Now let's find a couple of examples that the Israelites got saved from the destructive plague by celebrating the Passover.
2 Ch 30:1 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel … celebrate the Passover to the LORD.
:10 The people scorned and ridiculed them.
In the time of King Hezekiah, Israel didn't keep the Passover and Judah celebrated the Passover. Let's find out what happened to Israel and then Judah.
2 Ki 18:9-10 Samaria was captured (by the Assyrians) in Hezekiah's sixth year.
Israel was totally destroyed because it did not keep the Passover.
2 Ki 19:30-35 The angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp.
On the contrary, nothing happened to Judah from the Assyrian attack with God's protection because they had celebrated the Passover, God's seal.
These two different cases were written to teach us how important the Passover is for our salvation at the last day.
Ro 15:4 Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us.
The Israelites escaped the ten plagues in Egypt by keeping the Passover. In the time of King Hezekiah, God protected only Judah which celebrated the Passover. These examples show us that the Passover is surely God's seal. Only the Passover will save us from the coming disaster at the last day. Keep the Passover, and you will have God's seal and be saved. God bless you.

You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me
Today we will study how we can worship no other gods before God.
First of all, let's find out what the greatest commandment is before God.
Mt 22:35-38 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.
Let's find out through the Bible how this greatest commandment was fulfilled. Please turn to 2 Ki 23:21.
2 Ki 23:21-25 The king gave this order to all the people: "Celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God …" Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did―with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength.
King Josiah was said to love God with "all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength" after he celebrated the Passover.
The Passover is the way to keep the first and greatest commandment of God. Let's double-check this through another verses.
Dt 6:4-8 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. … Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
As Jesus said, this is the first and greatest commandment. God wants us to keep it on our foreheads. Now let's find out what we should do to obey this commandment.
Ex 13:3-9 Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt (Passover day) … This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead.
God says that the Passover is a reminder on our forehead. Here again we can understand the first commandment can be observed by celebrating the Passover.
Secondly, let's find out how we can serve only God by keeping the Passover.
Ex 20:3 You shall have no other gods before me. (The 1st commandment)
Ex 12:11-12 It is the LORD's Passover … on that same night … I will bring judgement on all the gods of Egypt.
We have to celebrate the Passover to serve only God. It is because all the other gods are destroyed once we keep the Passover.
Finally, let's find out some examples of God's destroying all the other gods through the Passover.
2 Ki 23:3-4, 21-24 Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods, the idols and all the other detestable things seen in Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Ch 30:1, 31:1 the Israelites who were there went out to the towns of Judah, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. They destroyed the high places and the altars throughout Judah.
These two cases clearly show that we can observe the first commandment only through the Passover.
False prophets always try to keep God's people from celebrating the Passover. They always try to abolish the Passover.
Dt 13:1-5 He has tried to turn you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.
The Bible says that all the people in the world will be destroyed at the last day because they do not keep the Passover, the everlasting covenant.
Isa 24:1-5 They have disobeyed the laws, violated the statues and broken the everlasting covenant.
Unless we keep the Passover, we will never know if we worship God or other gods. We must keep the Passover so that we can worship God only. God bless you.

The True Meaning of the Passover
The Passover is the most essential truth for our salvation in these last days. Today we will study the prophecy of the Passover to be fulfilled in these last days. Moses and the Israelites were delivered out of Egypt and entered Canaan after celebrating the Passover three times. This is a copy and shadow to be fulfilled in the time of the New Testament. Let's find out its reality.
Ex 12:1-14 You shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD―a lasting ordinance.
Moses and all the Israelites were brought out of sinful Egypt after they celebrated the first Passover. This was a copy of the things to happen in the time of Jesus. Let's find out how it was fulfilled.
Lk 22:15 Jesus eagerly wanted to keep the Passover.
Jesus' disciples were delivered out of this sinful world after they kept the Passover with Jesus.
The Israelites celebrated the second Passover in the desert after they came out of Egypt.
Nu 9:1-5 The LORD spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month of the second year after they came out of Egypt … So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover and they did so.
This was a shadow of the things to occur in the time of the New Testament. Let's find out how it was completed.
1 Co 11:26 Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Jesus' disciples kept the Passover in the spiritual desert of faith after His Ascension.
The Passover had not been kept by the natural Israelites for a long time, almost forty years. This was a shadow of the reality to take place in the time of the New Testament. The Passover had not been kept by the spiritual Israelites for a long time since the Early Church.
Jos 5:10-12 While camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.
For the third time the Israelites celebrated the Passover right before they entered Canaan, the promise land. This is also to be accomplished in the last days right before the spiritual Israelites enter the kingdom of heaven, the promise land.
Isa 25:6-8 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine … he will swallow up death forever.
This prophecy of the Passover is to take place in the last days. After the Ascension, the Passover had not been kept for a long time, over 1,600 years, during the Dark Ages. However, the spiritual Israelites will celebrate the Passover right before they enter the heavenly Canaan, the eternal home of promise.
In these last days, God's people can enter the kingdom of heaven only by keeping the Passover. God bless you.
Ex 12:1-14 You shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD―a lasting ordinance.

The Passover, the Way to Eternal life
According to the Bible, the Passover is the only way to have eternal life. Many people think they don't have to keep it. Which of the two is right before God, to keep the Passover or not? We must remember to judge everything by the Bible, not human standards, religious traditions, or popular opinion.
To make the right decision, we should study who commanded us to keep the Passover. We must observe it if it is God's commandment in the Bible. Also, we must not keep it when it is not in the Bible.
Ex 12:10-14 It is the LORD's Passover. … you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD―a lasting ordinance.
Who commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover in the Exodus? (God) The Israelites were blessed and delivered out of Egypt when they celebrated the Passover as God commanded.
Mt 26:19, 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Who commanded that Jesus' disciples should keep the Passover in the Bible? (Jesus) Jesus' disciples were blessed and delivered out of their sins when they celebrated the Passover as Jesus commanded.
Why did Jesus, God, command us to keep the Passover?
Jn 6:53-54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.
Lk 22:20 This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me … This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.
Jesus said that "no one" would have eternal life without eating His flesh and drinking His blood through the Passover. The Passover of the new covenant is "the only way" for us to receive eternal life from God.
Why does God want to give us eternal life through the Passover then? It is because He wants to lead us to His kingdom where there is no death.
Rev 21:4 There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
Here we can learn that the Passover is God's truth leading us to heaven, our home of eternal life.
The Passover of Jesus Christ is our Father's gift and outstretched hand bringing us to our eternal home. Before our Father died on the cross, He gave us His most precious gift, eternal life, through the Passover. Take Christ's gift and keep the Passover.
Mt 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
As we have studied, it is definitely God's will for us to keep the Passover. Only those who keep the Passover can enter the kingdom of heaven at the last day. God bless you.
To make the right decision, we should study who commanded us to keep the Passover. We must observe it if it is God's commandment in the Bible. Also, we must not keep it when it is not in the Bible.

Sunday Service Is a Lie
Many Christians claim that Sunday is the Lord's day in the Bible. Today we will find out if the Lord's day is in the Bible, and what day of the week it is if it is in the Bible.
Rev 1:10 On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit.
They insist that 'the Lord's Day' here is Sunday. Do you have any idea who 'the Lord' is in the Bible? (Jesus Christ) Would you please go to Mt 12:8?
Mt 12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. So the Lord's day is the Sabbath day, that is Saturday, not Sunday. Consequently, it is a lie that there is Sunday service for Christians because it is not in the Bible. They also insist that the apostles gave their offerings to God on Sunday and it is a true evidence of their keeping Sunday. Let's find out.
1 Co 16:2 On the first day of every week [every Sunday, TEV], each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.
Contrary to their thoughts, this verse obviously shows us that they had to work on Sunday to save up the money for collections. Sunday is not a day to worship God, but to work. Therefore, this is also a lie that Sunday service is in the Bible.
What will happen to those at the last day who lie that the Lord's day is Sunday?
Rev 21:8 Those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars―their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
They, liars, will be put into the fiery lake of burning sulfur at the last day.
We learned through the Bible that the Lord's Day is the Sabbath. Sadly, many people still insist that Sunday is the Lord's Day and that they do not have to observe the Sabbath in the Bible. God says that they are all liars to be thrown into the lake of fire on the Judgement day. Let's keep the Sabbath day holy and enter the kingdom of heaven. God bless you.
Rev 1:10 On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit.

The Sabbath of Moses and the Sabbath of Christ
The law of the Old Testament was fulfilled by Jesus. The Sabbath of Moses was also accomplished through the Sabbath of Jesus. Today we will study how people celebrate the Sabbath of Moses and the Sabbath of Christ. We will plainly see the difference between the two.
Mt 5:17 I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them [the Law or the Prophets].
Heb 7:12 For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.
As Jesus said through these two verses, the law of Moses was fulfilled and changed into the law of Christ.
First, let's study how the Sabbath of Moses was kept. Then we will study how it was fulfilled and changed by Jesus.
In the time of Moses, people must not do any work on the Sabbath day. They were put to death when they did any work on the Sabbath day.
Ex 31:15 Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.
Nu 15:32 A man gathering wood on the Sabbath day was stoned to death.
On the contrary, priests did work on the sabbath day by sacrificing animals to God. They were not put to death. This is the prominent difference between people and priests in keeping the Sabbath day.
Nu 28:9 On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs.
Lev 24:5-8 Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread … Set them in two rows.
There were two different ways they celebrated the Sabbath of Moses. Ordinary people were not allowed to do any work on the Sabbath day while priests must work to worship God on the Sabbath.
2,000 years ago, the Sabbath of Moses was fulfilled and changed into the Sabbath of Christ. Let's find out how the Sabbath of Christ was celebrated.
1 Pe 2:9 You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood.
In the time of Jesus, once people were baptized into Jesus, they were blessed and became the priests of the gospel. They kept the Sabbath in the newly different way. They worshipped God in spirit and truth, no longer sacrificing animals on the Sabbath day.
Jn 4:23-24 The true worshipers worship God in spirit and in truth.
Let's find out how Jesus celebrated the Sabbath day.
Lk 4:16 On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.
Jesus came and showed us an example that we should keep the Sabbath in spirit and truth. We should follow His example until the last day.
Today Satan is deceiving God's people into believing that the Sabbath is insignificant and merely a part of the law of Moses. We should be careful not to fall into his trap. Jesus showed us an example of keeping the Sabbath of Christ. Therefore, we must celebrate the Sabbath day and also lead God’s people to keep it. God bless you.
Mt 5:17 I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them [the Law or the Prophets].
Heb 7:12 For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.

Jesus came and showed us an example that we should keep the Sabbath in spirit and truth. We should follow His example until the last day.
Today Satan is deceiving God's people into believing that the Sabbath is insignificant and merely a part of the law of Moses. We should be careful not to fall into his trap. Jesus showed us an example of keeping the Sabbath of Christ. Therefore, we must celebrate the Sabbath day and also lead God’s people to keep it. God bless you.

Sabbath Fulfilled
It is everybody's opinion that the Sabbath of the Old Testament was abolished by the Cross of Jesus. It is true. However, people are not aware of the Sabbath of the New Testament Jesus gave us to celebrate until the last day.
Heb 10:9 He sets aside the first to establish the second.
Jesus came to set aside the law of Moses and to establish the law of Christ.
Mt 5:17 I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Jesus came and changed the law of Moses into the law of Christ. Just as the law of Moses has the Sabbath day, so the law of Christ has the Sabbath day fulfilled by Jesus. The difference is in "how" God's children keep the Sabbath holy.
First, let's find out how people kept the Sabbath in the time of Moses.
Nu 28:9-10 On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs.
People served God by sacrificing lambs every Sabbath. Now let's study how people kept the Sabbath in the time of Jesus.
Jn 1:29 Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Jesus is the reality of the lambs sacrificed every Sabbath. Since Jesus, the Lamb, was once sacrificed on the cross, there was no need for sacrificing lambs any more. After the Sabbath of the New Testament was established by Jesus, the Sabbath of the Old Testament started to disappear. Let's find out how Jesus kept the Sabbath.
Lk 4:16 On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.
Jesus kept the Sabbath. His apostles also kept the Sabbath. However, today many Sunday worshippers allege that Jesus' disciples kept Sunday after the Crucifixion. Let's find out if it is true.
Lk 23:52-56 But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
Ac 16:11-13 On the Sabbath … where we expected to find a place of prayer.
Right after the Crucifixion, Jesus' followers still celebrated the Sabbath in obedience to His commandment. Long after Jesus' Ascension, the Apostle Paul still kept the Sabbath as his custom. Now can you understand Jesus' disciples kept the Sabbath before and even after the Crucifixion? The Sabbath day was the custom of Jesus and His disciples.
As we have studied, the Sabbath of the law of Moses was fulfilled by Jesus through the Sabbath of the law of Jesus. We should celebrate it until the last day.
Mt 24:20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
Mt 7:21-23 Away from me, you evildoers (you who practice lawlessness, NKJV).
Those who do not keep the Sabbath, God's law, are evildoers in God's eyes who will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Let's keep the Sabbath of the New Testament and enter the kingdom of heaven. God bless you.

Keep the Sabbath Holy
Today we will study through the Bible why we should keep the Sabbath day.
Rev 22:18 If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
We should celebrate the Sabbath day because it is testified in the Bible. We will never go to the kingdom of heaven when we add or take away anything from the Bible.
What day of the week must we keep to receive blessing and holiness from God?
Ge 2:3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
God blessed the seventh day in the Creation. Later in the time of Moses He commanded His people to "remember" the Sabbath by keeping it holy.
Ex 20:8-10 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy … the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God.
We can easily understand Saturday is the Sabbath through a dictionary. It says Saturday is the seventh and the last day of the week. What about Sunday? It says Sunday is the first day of the week.
Do you know what 'weekend' means? It is the end of the week. What day of the week is at the very end? (Saturday) Therefore the Sabbath day is Saturday, not Sunday ("The Faith of Our Fathers," pp. 72-73).
Now let's find out why the Sabbath day is so important to us?
Ex 31:13 You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come.
Sabbath day is a sign between God and His people forever. Therefore, Jesus, our God, set us an example of keeping the Sabbath day that we must follow.
Lk 4:16 On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.
It was Jesus' custom to keep the Sabbath day. It was also the custom of the apostles.
Ac 17:2 As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures.
Jesus' apostles kept the Sabbath as Jesus did. It must be our custom, too. We must not take it away from the Bible.
(custom: the way a person always behaves; a habit or practice)
Why, then, do you think Jesus and His apostles kept the Sabbath? It's because the Sabbath is God's truth that leads us to the kingdom of heaven. Let's find out.
Mt 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Who can enter the kingdom of heaven? (Only those who do the will of God) It is God's will for us to keep His words without adding or taking away from the Bible. We must keep the Sabbath day in the Bible. What will happen to the people who dare take away the Sabbath day and add Sunday to the Bible at the last day? They will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
We believe in God in order to go to the kingdom of heaven. Let's keep the Sabbath in the Bible and enter the kingdom of heaven. God bless you
Rev 22:18 If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

What Day of the Week Is the Biblical Sabbath?
Today we're going to study on what day of the week we must worship God to receive His blessing and holiness.
God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
Ge 2:3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
On what day must we worship God to receive blessings and holiness from Him? (Seventh day) Do you think you can get God's blessing and holiness when you worship God on another day? (No) Only those who keep the seventh day will receive blessing and holiness from God. Now let's find out what God called the seventh day.
Ex 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
What did God name the seventh day? God named it the Sabbath day and commanded us to "remember" the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. God already knew His people would "forget" about the Sabbath day. Do all Christians keep the Sabbath nowadays as God commanded?
Do you know what day of the week is the Biblical Sabbath? It is Saturday. Let me show you some evidences for a clearer understanding.
First, we can understand Saturday is the Sabbath through the calendar. When you go from the first to the seventh day on the calendar, you can easily understand Saturday is the seventh day. What about Sunday? It is the first day of the week, not the seventh day.
Secondly, we can learn Saturday is the Sabbath through a dictionary. When you refer to the dictionary, it says Saturday is the seventh and the last day of the week. What about Sunday? It says Sunday is the first day of the week.
Finally, we can learn that Saturday is the Sabbath through the Bible.
Mk 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week.
This is about Jesus' resurrection. Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. The Good News Bible says the first day is Sunday ("Very early on Sunday morning," Mark 16:9, TEV). Now that Sunday is the first day, naturally the seventh day is Saturday, the Biblical Sabbath. Therefore, we have to worship God on Saturday to receive blessing and holiness from Him.
As we have studied, Saturday is the Sabbath when we must worship God. Think about it. Why do many people insist on going to church on Sunday?
Jn 8:47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.
God tells His people to keep the Sabbath day. All Christians who belong to God must celebrate Saturday, the Sabbath day. Sunday is the day of the sun-god, which came from Rome. Who do you wish to worship, the one true God or the sun-god?
Finally let's find out through the Bible who can enter the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Which one is God's will, Sunday or the Sabbath in the light of the Bible? (The Sabbath) You must keep the Sabbath, God's will, if you really want to enter the kingdom of heaven. God bless you.

Elohim
Today we will study that there are two images of God, the male image of God and the female image of God. The Bible calls Them Elohim in Hebrew.
Ge 1:26-27 God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." … in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
These verses clearly show that God has two images: male and female. What do you call the male image of God? (Father) What about the female image of God then? (Mother) They created man and woman in the beginning, and They work together until the last day.
Ge 11:1-7 Come, let us [Elohim, God the Father and God the Mother] go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
Here the word 'us' tells us that Father and Mother worked together to stop their building the tower of Babel. Surely we can see that there is the Father God and the Mother God through the Bible.
Isa 6:8 Who will go for us [God the Father and God the Mother]?
God said, "Who will go for us?" Here we can also see God our Father and Mother working together and sending prophets for our salvation. Can you understand Elohim had worked from the time of creation until the time of the Prophet Isaiah? God, who is working for our salvation, promised that He would appear (in the flesh) in His own time.
1 Ti 6:13-14 I charge you to keep this command … until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time.
How will Jesus, God, appear in his own time? Concerning this, our Father Ahnsahnghong says: "In the last days, the Spirit and the Bride will appear and lead all the animals [the Gentiles]"―in the book, 'The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life,' (Chapter 24 'The Complete and the Incomplete'). Always expressing Himself as "Us", God will appear in the flesh as the Spirit and the Bride in these last days. Let's find out more about God's appearance in the last days.
Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride [Elohim in the flesh] say, "Come!" … let him take the free gift of the water of life.
The very same God who gave life to Adam and Eve in the Creation will appear as the Spirit and the Bride. They will give us eternal life in these last days. The Bible says that God alone is immortal (1 Ti 6:16). However, some claim that they can also give life. They are seriously mistaken. They can never give others eternal life because they are only mortal. Let's confirm this fact through the Bible.
Jn 6:53 Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Only Jesus, God Immortal, can give us eternal life. We, mortal beings, must go to Him to receive eternal life.
Mt 8:22 Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.
This verse clearly shows that we are nothing but the dead if we don't follow God. In these last days, the Spirit and the Bride say to all mankind, "Come! Whoever wishes, let him come and take the free gift of the water of life" (Rev 22:17). We must seek and go to Elohim who gives us eternal life.
Only those who receive Elohim will enter the kingdom of heaven at the last day.
Jer 31:31-33 I will make a new covenant … I will be their God [God the Father and God the Mother―Elohim], and they will be my people.
Elohim is God of the new covenant. People can become God's children only through the new covenant and enter the kingdom of heaven at the last day. God bless you.
Ge 1:26-27 God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." … in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
These verses clearly show that God has two images: male and female. What do you call the male image of God? (Father) What about the female image of God then? (Mother) They created man and woman in the beginning, and They work together until the last day.

Jer 31:31-33 I will make a new covenant … I will be their God [God the Father and God the Mother―Elohim], and they will be my people.
Elohim is God of the new covenant. People can become God's children only through the new covenant and enter the kingdom of heaven at the last day. God bless you.

Solomon's Wisdom and Mother
2 Ti 3:15 You have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Today we will study the wisdom we should seek for our salvation in the last days. Let's find out what it is through Jesus' teaching.
Mt 12:42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom.
What is Solomon's wisdom that we should seek in these last days? It is about how to recognize who our real mother is. Let's find out what Solomon's wisdom is.
1 Ki 3:16-28 The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two." (Two women argue about the living child, claiming that he is their own son. One is his real mother and the other is a false one.)
If the living child is given to the false mother who kills her own, his life will never be spared. Who will console the child and secure his life? (His real mother) It is Solomon's wisdom to discover who the real mother is.
Through these two women, God shows us that we have two mothers, our real mother and the false one, in these last days. Who is our real mother in the Bible then? She is Jerusalem above. What about the false one? She is Babylon―the mother of the abominations (the Roman Catholic Church and all the Protestant churches). Let's confirm this through the Bible.
Rev 17:4-5 BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 18:2-3 She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
Babylon, the false mother, will never spare God's people's lives in the last days because she is a home for demons and every evil spirit. Therefore we should seek our Mother through Solomon's wisdom.
Now let's find out who our real Mother is through the Bible.
Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Rev 21:9-10 "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." … and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
:1-3 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
The Bible testifies that only Jerusalem is our true Mother, the Bride of Father. We should go to Her to receive eternal life in these last days.
Rev 22:17 "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' … whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life."
In these last days, Jerusalem Mother gives us eternal life, while Babylon the Great, the false mother, devours souls as a home for demons.
How does our Mother gives us eternal life?
Jn 6:53-54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.
Lk 22:7 This is my body given for you … This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
She will give us eternal life through the Passover, the new covenant.
Our true Mother gives us eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant in these last days. She is the mother of all the living. However, the Catholic Church and the Protestant churches, false mothers, hate to celebrate the Passover. They can never give life to people. They will devour their souls. They are only a home for demons and every evil spirit.
Only those who have Solomon's wisdom can distinguish the true Mother from false mothers in these last days. You should believe in Jerusalem Mother for the salvation of your souls. God bless you.

Mother, the Source of the Water of Life
Water is very important to all living creatures. We would not be exaggerating if we said that water is life itself. Just as water is essential to our life, so spiritual water, the word of God, is vital to our spiritual life. Now let's find out who will give us the water of life in the last days.
Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" … let him take the free gift of the water of life.
The Bible says that the Bride along with the Spirit will give us the water of life, God's word, in the last days. We should try to seek and meet the Bride to receive the water of life in the last days.
Let's find out who the Bride is through the Bible.
Rev 21:9-10 "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." … and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
The Bride, the Wife of the Lamb, is Jerusalem. What is our relationship to Her?
Gal 4:26 The Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother.
The Bride is Jerusalem our heavenly Mother. She is to give us the water of life in these last days. Many verses in the Bible prophesy about Her. Why don't we study about them through the Bible?
Zec 14:8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem.
The Prophet Zechariah foretold that living water would flow out from Jerusalem in the last days. Today all mankind is suffering from a thirst for water of life, God's word. They must come to Jerusalem our Mother to receive the word of life in the last days.
Eze 47:1 I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple.
The Prophet Ezekiel also foresaw that the water of life would come out of Jerusalem and make everything live. People will never get the water of life when they deny Jerusalem Mother. They are like the swamps and marshes that will not become fresh without the water of life from Jerusalem.
Now let's find out what blessing will be given to those who receive the water of life from Jerusalem our Mother.
Rev 22:1-5 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb … They will reign for ever and ever.
The Apostle John also prophesied that the water of life would flow from heavenly Jerusalem. Only those who receive the water of life from Jerusalem Mother will bear much fruit. They will be with God and they will reign in heaven for ever and ever.
Jerusalem Mother gives us eternal life through the water of life in the last days. We can become God's children only through Her so we can return to our eternal home heaven. We should make the whole world know the glory of Jerusalem our Mother and give thanks to Her. God bless you.
Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" … let him take the free gift of the water of life.

The Prophet Ezekiel also foresaw that the water of life would come out of Jerusalem and make everything live. People will never get the water of life when they deny Jerusalem Mother. They are like the swamps and marshes that will not become fresh without the water of life from Jerusalem.
Now let's find out what blessing will be given to those who receive the water of life from Jerusalem our Mother.
Rev 22:1-5 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb … They will reign for ever and ever.
The Apostle John also prophesied that the water of life would flow from heavenly Jerusalem. Only those who receive the water of life from Jerusalem Mother will bear much fruit. They will be with God and they will reign in heaven for ever and ever.
Jerusalem Mother gives us eternal life through the water of life in the last days. We can become God's children only through Her so we can return to our eternal home heaven. We should make the whole world know the glory of Jerusalem our Mother and give thanks to Her. God bless you.
